Day one of the 2019 World Master IBJJF Jiu-Jitsu Championship is in the books. A multitude of veterans went at it at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the hope of topping the podium.
In the black-belt master 1 group, Talita Treta (NS Brotherhood) and Gustavo Dias (Ribeiro JJ) left an indelible mark.
For Gustavo, after a marathon of matches, gold came in a double dose. First in the ultra-heavy division, where he defeated some favorites before besting Marcelo Florêncio (Zenith) in the final. In the open division, after getting past Gabriel Timbó and Eliot Kelly, Gustavo beat Henrique Lima (Checkmat) to conclude a perfect campaign.
Talita Treta, an adult world champion, added another absolute triumph to her career. Currently an MMA athlete in Bellator, she still makes time to compete in the gi. And despite a setback in the super-heavy division — where she took silver behind Fabiana Santos (Zenith) — Talita came back to beat the absolute field, leaving the silver medal to Fabiana Borges (Gracie Barra).
Check out the official black belt results below.
